Here is an EXCELLENT CONDITION print of Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Lon Chaney, Jr. , Bela Lugosi and Glenn Strange in the holy grail of 16mm collecting: 1948's Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein! This is an EXCELLENT CONDITION print on 2002 EASTMAN B/W film stock. This print has been run exactly six times in total. This is my personal print from my library. This is a reduction from an exceptionally good 35mm source.

The physical print is in EXCELLENT condition - there is one very thin emulsion scratch lasting around 20 secs, around 10 mins into Reel 1 with otherwise NO lines, splices or other defects! The contrast, focus and sound are excellent (focus looks a hair soft in long shots, but not bad). The print has a booming variable density track! Aside from the rare fine line (mainly towards the middle of reel 1) or splice in the source, the pre-print was excellent! There are some dust specks in the print, including some brief heavy spots, but nevertheless it's extremely rare to come across a print of this title in such great condition (the contrast is really excellent, not one of those milky dupes or TV prints!).

Email me for screenshots if required.

Price: £160 plus £12 p&p.
